The Myth of Non-Emancipation
The Emancipation Proclamation has faced criticism as a document of little impact because it offered freedom only to slaves "within any state or designated part of a state … in rebellion against the United States," rather than to slaves in areas that the Union actually controlled. That charge does not withstand scrutiny. By freeing slaves in rebel-held territory, the Proclamation effectively turned Union forces into an army of liberation. Rather than retreating behind arguments that slavery was a state issue, or returning escaped slaves under the Fugitive Slave Act, the federal government, for the first time, acted to guarantee the freedom of African Americans. The "government of the United States," read the Proclamation, "including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons." While the Emancipation Proclamation's reach was limited by exceptions (loyal border states, all of Tennessee, and certain Louisiana parishes), "emancipation was immediate," Eric Foner has written, in Union-occupied parts of Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi and the South Carolina Sea Islands. "Overall," he points out, "tens of thousands of slaves—50,000 according to one estimate—gained their freedom with the stroke of Lincoln's pen."
Freedmen and women liberated as Union forces march south, Harper's Weekly, February 21, 1863.
Many prior presidents had imagined or hoped for a nation without slavery, but could not, or would not, act on their ideals. Thomas Jefferson famously wrote, "I see not how we are to disengage ourselves from that deplorable entanglement, we have the wolf by the ears and feel the danger of either holding or letting him loose. I shall not live to see it but those who come after us will be wiser than we are…."
With the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln dramatically tied the Union's war aims to the ultimate goal of putting an end to slavery. Whether they approved or not, after January 1, 1863, Americans could no longer deny that emancipation was central to the Union war effort. "We shout for joy that we live to record this righteous decree," wrote Frederick Douglass. From black soldiers, to European statesmen, to Lincoln's Northern political enemies, to outraged Southern rebels, observers understood that America was could no longer ignore the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence.
As the war dragged on, the "military necessity" of emancipation grew more apparent, and African Americans became instrumental in forcing Lincoln and the Northern public to make freedom a central goal of the war. In historian Ira Berlin's words, Lincoln and the slaves played "complementary roles" in bringing about emancipation:
By abandoning their owners, coming uninvited into Union lines, and offering their assistance as laborers, pioneers, guides, and spies, slaves forced federal soldiers at the lowest level to recognize their importance to the Union's success. That understanding traveled quickly up the chain of command. In time, it became evident even to the most obtuse federal commanders that every slave who crossed into Union lines was a double gain: one subtracted from the Confederacy and one added to the Union. The slaves' resolute determination to secure their liberty converted many white Americans to the view that the security of the Union depended upon the destruction of slavery.
Perhaps no one understood the implications of the Emancipation Proclamation better than Frederick Douglass. Never one to mince words regarding freedom and equality for his race, he marveled at the changes brought about by Lincoln's act and saw immediately the long-term consequences for African Americans.
Slavery is now in law, as in fact, a system of lawless violence, against which the slave may lawfully defend himself.…The change in attitude of the Government is vast and startling. For more than sixty years the Federal Government has been little better than a stupendous engine of Slavery and oppression, through which Slavery has ruled us, as with a rod of iron.…Assuming that our Government and people will sustain the President and the Proclamation, we can scarcely conceive of a more complete revolution in the position of a nation.…I hail it as the doom of Slavery in all the States.
Recruiting black soldiers after Emancipation (African American Civil War Memorial and Museum)
The Emancipation Proclamation redefined the role of the federal government in relation to African Americans. It altered war goals, immediately freed nearly 50,000 slaves in Union-held parts of the Confederacy, and offered freedom to slaves as the Union Army pushed further into rebel territory. Its contemporary detractors saw it as an act to free slaves, while supporters, including African Americans' most eloquent spokesman, considered it a sea change for the nation. It is a clear fallacy that Lincoln's bold action emancipated no one.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback Signs Fetal Pain-Abortion Ban
Steven Ertelt Apr 12, 2011 | 4:59PM Topeka, KS
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback got the chance to act on his pro-life convictions and sign into law two pro-life bills that would help limit abortions in the state, which recently saw abortions drop 12 percent.
Brownback signed into law bills including one that will ban late abortions based on the scientific evidence showing unborn children can feel pain beginning at 20 weeks of pregnancy.
"I think challenges of Roe are abounding across the country," Brownback said. "You're seeing pro-life legislation pass in many jurisdictions across the nation."
"The dignity of every individual in the state of Kansas, this country, the world has been significant to me for some time," the governor said. "Whether that's somebody in Africa, somebody in prison, some that is unborn. To sign major pro-life legislation in a first term, I think is important and significant."
"These passed by large bipartisan margins in both the House and Senate. There's not a dispute in the Legislature," Brownback said.
Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, condemned Governor Brownback and claimed he is "putting the health and safety of Kansas women and families at risk for purposes of political posturing."
At the end of March, the Kansas state House concurred on the final version of HB 2218, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, by a 94-28 margin and the Abortion Reporting Accuracy and Parental Rights Act, HB 2035, by a 100-22 margin.
The first bill, which is similar to a first-in-the-nation law the state of Nebraska passed that successfully drove late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart to move most of his abortion business to Maryland, bans abortions at 22 weeks gestation (20 weeks post-conception) due to the scientific evidence that not only do unborn children feel pain, they feel it more acutely because pain "dampeners" do not fully develop until 40 weeks gestation, and later.
Kansans for Life legislative director Kathy Ostrowski says "the human unborn child feels pain more acutely than any other age infant, child or adult because the biological development of pain suppressors does not mature until 40 weeks gestation."
She said HB 2218 will "help the nationwide pro-life movement establish that, despite Roe v. Wade, the states have a compelling interest not only in protecting the life of the unborn but in protecting our society from further descending into the barbarism of permitting the intentional inflicting of abortion torture on tiny, pain-feeling humans."
Before the House vote, a committee heard from pro-life pediatricians from Parsons and Topeka with phone-in advice from a Washington state maternal-infant specialist. Abortion supporters opposing HB 2218 testified as well but brought no intellectual firepower to counter the medical experts that had testified definitively for the pro-life side. The House Federal & State Affairs committee asked opponents if they had any scientific or medical information relevant to the bill. They had none, other than mentioning a 2005 discredited article.
Section 3 allows the induction of an abortion upon a woman when gestational age is 22 or more weeks if "in reasonable medical judgment" she has a condition which so complicates her medical condition as to necessitate the abortion to avert her death or to avert serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.
"This language is fully adequate to cover circumstances in which termination of a pregnancy is truly medically necessary," Ostrowski said. "Other than a true maternal physical medical situation or life-threatening condition, HB 2218 will ban abortions after 22 weeks gestation (20 weeks post-fertilization). This will prevent abortions sought for the emotional or mental health of the mother, or for the severity of a fetal condition."
Ostrowski concluded: "Kansans are ashamed of the thousands of abortions that were done in Wichita using this "mental health loophole"–not to help save the mother's life or prevent substantial, irreversible damage to her body."
The Kansas Catholic Conference also supported the bill: "HB 2218 would prohibit abortions after twenty weeks, measured from conception, on the grounds that unborn children can feel pain at that time. These bills will help ensure that Kansas, once notorious for its anything-goes abortion policy, will be transformed into a national model for Pro-Life legislation."
Meanwhile, the Abortion Reporting Accuracy and Parental Rights Act reflects that parents should be counseling and protecting their underage pregnant daughters. Under the measure, if minors apply to court to bypass their parents, the judge in the proceeding should use a strong standard of "clear & convincing" evidence; prepare an adequate court record of why the girl is circumventing her parents; be allowed to order counseling for the minor; and be required to inform authorities if abuse is suspected.
The bill also governs the reporting of late abortions with provisions that were vetoed three times by abortion-supporting past governors Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson, according to Ostrowski.
"During the bill's hearing on Jan. 27, the House Federal State Affairs committee asked the lobbyist for Kansas' Planned Parenthood whether predators are able to hide their crimes by escorting minors through abortion clinics," she said. "The lobbyist claimed staffers have a short period of time alone with the minor, without her adult companion, implying that the minor would be carefully assessed for coercion/abuse."
"But that answer has no credibility in light of four years of undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood willing to break minimal state laws instituted to protect children from predatory sex," Ostrowski continued. "Some 16 hidden camera videos from Live Action show Planned Parenthood's nationwide commitment to selling abortions while skirting parental consent laws, citing unscientific information to manipulate women to have abortions, helping sex traffickers obtain abortions for the underage girls, and offering insurance-paid services through tax payer funded programs even if the underage girls are not U.S. citizens."

Harvard Settlement Notes 3Play Media as Standard for Caption Quality
January 3, 2020 BY JACLYN LEDUC
One of 3Play Media's core beliefs is that caption quality and accuracy are critical for true accessibility. We guarantee 99% accuracy for every video file that we caption, and our measured caption accuracy rate is the highest in the industry.
A recent settlement between the National Association of the Deaf and Harvard University specifically references 3Play Media as a pillar for caption quality and notes that captions must have "an accuracy rate equal to that offered by a vendor captioning service such as 3PlayMedia."
How Higher Ed Institutions Can Be Accessible
We are pleased that the settlement advises using a captioning vendor, and are proud to be mentioned by name. We will continue to make true caption accuracy a priority in hopes of making the world a more accessible place.
NAD v. Harvard University Settlement
In 2015, the NAD filed a class-action lawsuit against Harvard University for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act by failing to provide accurate and comprehensive captioning for online educational content.
After four years of litigation, on November 27, 2019, the NAD and Harvard University settled by means of a consent decree to improve accessibility for Harvard's content.
In the settlement agreement, several accessibility requirements are written which must be followed by Harvard University such as closed captions must be added to existing content posted on or after January 1, 2019, within two years.
The case between the NAD and Harvard was unique because it brought forth issues with the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the university's captions. As far as captioning quality standards go, the agreement gets specific:
In the case of video files, to overlay or externally embed synchronized visual text for speech and, consistent with WCAG 2.1 AA, provide nondialogue audio information needed to understand the program content, including sound effects, music, laughter, speaker identification, and location on a digital media file at an accuracy rate equal to that offered by a vendor captioning service such as 3PlayMedia and in a manner consistent with industry standards regarding synchronicity, completeness, and proper placement; Case 3:15-cv-30023-KAR Document 201-1
Caption Quality at 3Play Media
3Play Media's captioning process is centered around providing accurate captions and is comprised of three key steps:
Each caption file goes through automatic speech recognition technology to produce a rough transcript.
A professional transcription editor cleans up the rough transcript using our proprietary software.
The transcript is finally reviewed by a professional quality assurance manager to check for correct spelling, grammar, and more.
A combination of speech recognition technology and human editors is what allows us to efficiently deliver a caption file that is 99% accurate or higher to all of our customers.
Accessibility is vital for students with disabilities in higher education, but it also benefits every student. Today, accessibility goes beyond providing ramps, elevators, and curb cuts. It now extends to the internet and to digital materials, such as PDF documents, online videos, and more.
Accessibility in higher education is possible and well worth it, for everyone. Just follow our roadmap to web accessibility in higher education to get where you need to be accessibility-wise.

Remove the AWD points and mandate a max tire width. ST3 and 4 get a 275 tire, ST2 gets a 295 tire, and ST1 gets a 315 or something (naturally following the section width rule) I think the points option is more of the direction you've been going over the past several years so it makes more sense but you tell us. If you're afraid of the Grid/Global guys coming over I wouldn't. Most of them can't drive and the cars are all HP which the rules already fix.
No thank you on the Maximum Tire Width stuff. This is addressed through credits for the smaller tire sizes currently and seems to work well.
Not sure what the situation is in your region, but in SoCal there is a very competitive EVO in ST3 (Justin Bordonaro) and he was on pole for the ST3 race during Nationals at COTA this year.
Yea lets not mess with tire width rules, I'm happy where we're at.
Agreed but had to put it out there. Focusing back on the fact that Justin, myself and many others are getting wacked .2 for nothing other then satisfying a e36 debate 🙄. If one were to NOT mess with the rules as you said, then the .2 needs to get put back somewhere.
Unless I'm misreading it, the ST rules still list 10" numbers, while the CCR says 12". The CCR also says that class rules over-ride the CCR, so 10" numbers are still legal for ST as of now.
I also feel the 3100lb break between 245 and 275 tires in ST4 (on lower) should be 3000, as the weight break is. Having so many different "break" points for different modifications is overly complex. We get breaks and penalties for things, even when they are required in some cases, and a little streamlining would help in the future.
And finally, while I like the averaging formula, it now takes me longer to do the paperwork for ST then the actual dyno time. No advice here, just letting people know if their dyno starts charging extra for the paperwork.
Start using the Avg HP calculator. It worked great at COTA. It cuts out almost all of the extra work.
3100 was the number we came down to without full agreement, even though 3200 was the initial number.
Dynojet has problems with one of their recent software updates. It's not on the NASA side. They are planning to fix it. Please e-mail Roman (cc me) some of your recent run files, and we'll see what the problem is.
I am working on the directions on how to use the tool. As Greg said, email us your Dynojet file and we will test it out.
I didn't get an e-mail--not sure if Roman did. But, please send the actual Dynojet file (along with your export file).
However, I think the only issue is that you didn't uncheck all of the header and other boxes on the Export menu box.
Roman is working on getting the screen shot instructions for the Avg HP calculator posted.
for anyone watching this, we figured it out.
You must export rpm and power only (no torque), and it must be comma delimited. If you get anything other than numbers and commas, it won't work. I sometimes get an "-inf" data point, which I assume is an error/"not enough data" marker. You need to either put a number in, or just delete that line from your txt file.
I was the one who posted in the other thread. All I did was un-check all the boxes in the info/header area, selected tab delineated and unchecked the format for printing in data export window. This a snip from my .txt file and it has all of the info in it, rpm, hp, tq, afr? I uploaded the .txt and it worked? Using Winpep 7.
You only need rpm and horsepower numbers. No torque.
"inf" could be a bad RPM pickup point.
This is true, only rpm and hp is what is required.
All I was pointing out was if the run data includes all items (including tq and afr), for me anyway, it did not prevent the calculator from working. YMMV.
The calculator might work. The result, however, might be incorrect.

Server performance issues and slowdown caused by RadScriptManager or RadStyleSheetManager, usually increasing CPU load that may even max it out.
This can be caused by multiple calls to RadStyleSheetManager.GetIsValidScriptEntry or other similar internal methods. Some methods in the RadScriptManager and RadStyleSheetManager use Reflection to access assembly resources in order to generate the combined resource.
Since Reflection is generally slow, this can also cause a slowdown for the server, especially under heavy load.
Ultimately, the purpose of the RadStyleSheetManager and RadScriptManager controls is to improve the experience for the client and they do that by combining requests for stylesheets and scripts into a single request. This facilitates caching for the browsers and improves latency for the client by reducing the number of requests dramatically. The cost is that the server has to do more work in order to provide those combined requests.
There has been a concurrency issue that could cause similar problems under heavy load, and it was related to System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert and Telerik.Web.UI.CryptoService.GetService(), and it has been fixed in R3 2017.

$tar War$: Strange Star Wars Products
Nothing says "May the force be with you" quite like a waffle maker. Here are some real tie-ins to a galaxy far, far away. This article was first published in Uncle John's Uncanny Bathroom Reader.
The plastic sandals are available in a The Force Awakens edition: the bad guys (Kylo Ren, stormtroopers) printed on one foot, and the good guys (Finn and Rey) on the other.
Coffee-Mate released a special line of its nondairy creamers in bottles that look like characters, including Darth Vader (Espresso Chocolate flavor), C-3PO (Hazelnut), and Chewbacca (Spiced Latte).
You can buy a 16-foot-tall inflatable Darth Vader to put on your lawn during the holidays. Instead of a lightsaber, he's holding a big candy cane.
Barf Bags
To promote Revenge of the Sith in 2005, Virgin Airlines carried Star Wars–branded air sickness bags on its flights. They were printed with jokey tips about lightsaber safety.
It makes waffles in the shape and image of the Death Star. (Brought to you by Pangea Brands, which also makes a Darth Vader toaster.)
Remember in The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are stuck on the ice planet Hoth, and to survive, Solo kills his mount—a tauntaun—and puts Luke inside? As a 2009 April Fools' joke, the online catalog company ThinkGeek offered a ridiculous product that they didn't have—a tauntaun-shaped sleeping bag (that kids could crawl inside). They were inundated with orders and had to scramble to get permission from Lucasfilm to produce it. Today it's available in their catalog (and from Amazon).
Yoda Mat
It's a yoga mat, but it's got a picture of Yoda on it. Get it? It also has an inspiring quote on it: "Do, or do not. There is no try."
This fuzzy throw rug looks like it was made from a Wookiee pelt. It's even got Chewbacca's bandolier attached. Also available: R2-D2 rugs, Millennium Falcon rugs, and Death Star rugs.
If your cat loves Star Wars (and of course she does), she'll love these stuffed animals that are mouse versions of Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and Yoda.
Pottery Barn sells this capsulelike bed for kids, shaped like the Millennium Falcon. Cost: $4,000.
A hollow R2-D2 that is home to a bunch of fish.
This bizarre bit of Star Wars merchandise from 1981 is somewhat inappropriate. It's a seated C-3PO with a roll of Scotch tape emanating from between his legs.
It may not keep your drinks hyper-cold, but this mini-fridge looks exactly like Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
George Lucas Action Figure
Star Wars creator George Lucas has a cameo in Revenge of the Sith as a blue creature standing outside of an opera house. His three real-life children stand next to him, also made up like aliens. Like almost every other Star Wars character, action figures of the Lucas family are available.
Duck Tape
It's duct tape…with scenes from Star Wars on it.
Mirroring a famous exchange from the movies, these his-and-hers towels from ThinkGeek depict Princess Leia saying "I love you" and Han Solo saying "I know."
For the release of Revenge of the Sith in 2005, fans in Germany could buy special Star Wars–branded packs of toilet paper manufactured by the paper company Zewa. (Each pack came with a Yoda action figure.)
Fishing gear manufacturer Shakespeare sells Star Wars stuff that you can fish with. The kids' fishing starter packs include tackle boxes and fishing rods made to look like lightsabers.
Why use regular barbecue tongs when you could use tongs that look like a lightsaber and make lightsaber sound effects? (Frequently bought with Darth Vader apron and Darth Vader heat-resistant silicone oven gloves.)
Fancy Dresses
In 2014, the fashion house Rodarte introduced Star Wars dresses for women. Similar to the garments worn by Princess Leia, the dresses are billowy, flowing, and off-white…but screen-printed with scenes from the Star Wars movies. Cost: about $6,000.
The fruit distribution company Sage paid a hefty fee to brand Red Delicious apples with Star Wars imagery. Here's what they came up with in late 2015: apples (regular apples) in a plastic bag with Darth Vader's picture on it.

This collage was created nine months ago by CTA25 from the San Jose Development Forum on Skyscrapercity (yup, that's how far behind I am on the forum). While some projects already have revised designs and it is missing some of the recent megaprojects like Adobe's 4th tower and Boston Properties' insane 1.8 million SQFT proposal, this provides a pretty good perspective on just how different Downtown San Jose will look in a few years. Red lines are projects that are already well under construction.


LASIK eye surgery is currently the most popular type of refractive surgery in the United States and is very effective when it comes to treating certain eye conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Because our optometrists at Total Eyecare in Elko strive to give each of our patient's comprehensive care to meet all of their vision needs, we provide pre- and post-operative care for patients who make the decision to have LASIK eye surgery.
If you are a patient who is interested in LASIK surgery, our optometrist in Elko provides the necessary evaluations and referrals. As part of the high quality of optometry care we offer, this includes performing a complete review of your history, along with a thorough assessment of your eye health and vision.
Our pre-operative care also includes a current eye exam so that we can best determine if you are a candidate for LASIK and what type of factors might affect the results.
Once we have determined you have a stable prescription, and that you are healthy enough to go through with LASIK surgery, we will give you a referral to a LASIK surgery center with which we have a successful relationship. We will then follow up with the surgery center once they have finished their advanced diagnostic testing and your eligibility for surgery.
Following your LASIK eye surgery, you may feel some mild discomfort in your eyes. If your eyes feel irritated or dry, our optometrist can recommend certain types of mild pain relievers or eye drops. For the first few days following your procedure, you will need to wear protective eye shields while sleeping. This will help you to avoid any unconscious eye rubbing, which is important during the early healing stage.
Our optometrist will also let you know how else to best care for yourself following your procedure. Some of these recommendations may include telling you when it's safe to drive, wearing sunglasses, and not wearing eye makeup right away.
Following your LASIK eye surgery, we will continue to provide high-quality optometry care. This will start with scheduling the necessary follow-up appointments in our Elko office. The first appointment will take place the day after your eye surgery and will continue for the next six months. After it has been one full year following your surgery, having a complete eye exam is highly recommended. This eye exam will help to determine what the long-term results look like following your surgery.
Contact Our Elko Optometrist to Schedule an Appointment Today!
If you're considering LASIK eye surgery and have questions or concerns about the procedure, or the pre- or post-operative care that we provide, contact Total Eyecare in Elko at 775-738-8491. When it comes to LASIK surgery, our eye care team is highly experienced in working with patients who need pre- and post-operative care and will be glad to answer any questions you have along the way.

Frank Rinehart's Intimate Portraits Of Native Americans In The 1890's
On April 2, 2015 by Lazer Horse
Frank Albert Rinehart (1861-1928) was an American photographer of German decent who was most famous for his intimate portraits of Native Americans. His most iconic images were of tribal leaders and members of the delegations who attended the 1898 Indian Congress in Omaha. The congress saw the largest meeting of American Indian tribes to date, consisting of 500 members from 35 different tribes, including the infamous Apache chief Geronimo.
Rinehart wasn't the first to photograph Native Americans in a sensitive fashion, but his images were most widely circulated. The photos of tribal leaders helped change subsequent portrayals of Native Americans in Western media and minds. After the Indian Congress Rinehart traveled America for 2 years snapping leaders who hadn't attended the delegation.
When asked to bring an image of a Native American to mind you might be forgiven for thinking of a feather headdress and face paint. This popular image is a true depiction of some of the Plains Indians, a group which contains the Blackfoot, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Cheyenne and others. However, these tribes represent just a small section of a huge and diverse Native American family. The number of Native Indians living in America in pre-Columbian times is unknown but estimates range from 1 million up to 18 million.
NEXT: SIBERIAN FOLK 100 YEARS AGO
It goes without saying but America is a huge country, and as such there were thousands of distinct Native American tribes with as many as a thousand different languages. Some of these languages were as different from each other as English is to Russian.
Cultures that developed over millenia in Hawaii were always going to be vastly different from those that arose in places like Alaska. Many of these native tribesmen would never have met thanks to the vast distances involved, but trading networks between the distinct tribes were ancient and advanced.
Unfortunately for the Native American population, the white man entered their turf bearing arms, and even more devastatingly, small pox. Many thousands of tribesmen and women were all but wiped out before even laying eyes on the white man, thanks to small pox's virulent effects. Those that did survive the waves of European disease fell foul of his desire to "civilize" and remove them from their ancient hunting grounds. Ethnic cleansing saw the murder of thousands upon thousands of people who had called the Americas their home for thousands of years.
Life for Native Americans certainly wasn't the Utopia that some have dreamt up, it was tough and there was plenty of infighting and warring. But the tragedy of the loss of so much culture, art and history is almost too much to bear. Rinehart's photos serve as a lament and swan song of the incredible diversity and strength of Native Americans:

The Pigeons Who Took Photos
At the turn of the last century, when aviation was still in its infancy, a German named Julius Neubronner submitted a patent for a new invention—a miniature camera that could be strapped to the breast of a pigeon so that the bird could take flight and snap pictures from the air.
Julius Neubronner was an apothecary who employed pigeons to deliver medications to a sanatorium located near his hometown Kronberg, near Frankfurt. An apothecary is one who makes medicines. A pharmacist is a more modern word, but in many German speaking countries, such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland, pharmacies are still called apothecaries.
Apothecary was Julius Neubronner's family profession. His father was an apothecary, and so was his grandfather. In those days, homing pigeons were used extensively to carry messages and small supplies. It was Julius's father's idea to use pigeons to receive prescriptions from the sanatorium and send out medicinal supplies in a hurry—a practice that continued for more than half a century until the sanatorium closed.
One day, Neubronner let out a pigeon on an urgent errand but it didn't return. When several days passed and there was still no sign of the bird, Neubronner assumed the pigeon was lost, or it got caught and killed by predators. A month later, the lost messenger showed up unexpectedly at Neubronner's place. The bird appeared well fed, which got Neubronner into thinking. Where had he gone? Who had fed him?
Neubronner decided that he would start tracking his pigeons' future travels.

Being a passionate do-it-yourself amateur photographer, it didn't take long for Neubronner to fashion a miniature wooden camera which he fitted to the pigeon's breast by means of a harness and an aluminum cuirass. A pneumatic system in the camera opened the shutter at predetermined intervals and the roll of film, which moved along with the shutter, took as many as thirty exposures in a single flight. The entire rig weighed no more than 75 grams—the maximum load the pigeons were trained to carry.
The pictures turned out so good that Neubronner started making different models. One system, for instance, was fitted with two lenses pointing in opposite directions. Another one took stereoscopic images. Eventually, Neubronner applied for a patent, but the patent office threw out his application citing that such a device was impossible as they believed a pigeon could not carry the weight of a camera. But when Neubronner presented photographs taken by his pigeons, the patent was granted in 1908.

Neubronner exhibited his photographs in several international photographic exhibition gaining him accolades. In one such exhibition in Dresden, spectators watched as the camera-equipped carrier pigeons arrived at the venue, and the photos were immediately developed and turned into postcards which they could purchase.
The technology was soon adapted for use during the First World War, despite the availability of surveillance aircraft then. Pigeons drew less attention, could photograph enemy locations from a lower height, and were visibly indifferent to explosions on a battlefield.
Neubronner's avian technology saw use in the Second World War too. The German army developed a pigeon camera capable of taking 200 exposures per flight. The French too claimed they had cameras for pigeons and a method to deploy them behind enemy lines by trained dogs. Around this time, Swiss clockmaker Christian Adrian Michel perfected a panoramic camera and an improved mechanism to control the shutter. Pigeon photography was in use as late as the 1970s, when the CIA developed a battery-powered pigeon camera, though the details of the camera's use are still classified.

Today, aerial photography has been replaced by aircrafts, satellites, and more recently, by affordable drones. But the legacy of Julius Neubronner's pigeon photography lives on in these images which are among the very early photos taken of Earth from above.
Bonus fact: So what happened to Neubronner's pigeon who stayed away from the owner for a month and returned fattened up? It had flown away to Wiesbaden, some twenty kilometers away, and was taken care of by a restaurant chef.

Amazing quality of the photographs and even more amazing are the pigeons they should have a monument or at least a plaque!


I love living in the North again, I do, but there are things that I do miss of the South. Granted, I know for some South Florida is not considered the South, but for my home town it was. The more South you go like into Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade it becomes a different world. Martin County is definitely a mix of ethnicities and backgrounds, but it was easy to find some Florida southern natives. Deep-fried gator, yes alligator meat, breaded and deep fried. Barbecue pulled pork, ribs, Florida Sweet Corn, Collards, BBQ sauces, and Sweet Tea!! Real Sweet Tea! I went into Chipotle up here (before all the sicknesses) and I went to go get some sweet tea and they didn't have any!! Seriously??!! At Chipotle in Florida, I would mix the unsweetened tea with the sweet tea and it would be perfect for me.
So anyway these ribs!! I went into Aldi, where I am doing more of my grocery shopping, I found baby back ribs for $8 a slab!! I bought two! Oh, I knew Victor was going to be happy for dinner that night along with leftovers! I also picked up sweet potatoes, ketchup, and yellow mustard, because I was going to make my own sauces!
These ribs take 5 hours to cook, but they are so worth it. Low and slow for the first three hours, and then for the last two the heat is increased. They are tender enough to eat right from the bone. Yum!
The rub for these ribs has a balance of sweetness with a subtle touch of spice.
Serve these ribs with my Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce or Carolina Gold Sauce!
In the mood for some southern food? Make these ribs and turn the country music up!
Cut the racks so that they will fit into the roasting pan.
Mix all the ingredients together and pour in the roasting pan.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil, be sure that the foil doesn't touch the ribs.
Place the ribs into a preheated oven at 275° F for 3 hours.
After three hours, increase the heat to 325° F for 2 hours.
Yes, these ribs take 5 hours, but they are so worth it! Low and slow..
This recipe came out awesome!! The ribs were perfect, so moist and full of flavor!

LadiesBarr Wins Player of the Year
First team captain Rebecca Barr won the London & South East Regional FL Player of Year for 2015-16. The prestigious award was announced at the league AGM and was presented to her at the next training session. During a testing season where the team finished 9th Becks excelled for the team, showing real leadership consistently which did not go unnoticed by the opposition.
On receiving the award, Becks was already looking forward,
"I'm really pleased to win this award, it was a tough season, but we got through it as a team and we will progress next season."
First team manager was full of praise for his captain,
"It's a huge accolade for any player, to be told that you are the best player in the league by every team you've played against, and it really couldn't of gone to a better player. Aside from being a great player she has been a real leader in what has been a very tough season.
What makes her efforts even more impressive is that she was also essentially caretaker manager for nearly 2 months. Since I've been here (January) she has been brilliant on and off the field, she is a pleasure to manage and no doubt she will be even better next season."

White House nixes tougher FDA guidelines on vaccine approval
| Health
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has blocked new Food and Drug Administration guidelines on bringing potential vaccines for COVID-19 to market that would almost certainly have prevented their approval before the Nov. 3 election.
At issue was the FDA's planned requirement that participants in the ongoing mass clinical trials for nearly a half-dozen vaccine candidates be followed for two months to ensure there are no side effects and that the vaccines provide lasting protection from the virus in order to receive emergency approval. A senior administration confirmed the move Monday evening, saying the White House believed there was "no clinical or medical reason" to add additional screening protocols.
The White House action was first reported by The New York Times.
FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn has pledged that career scientists, not politicians, will decide whether any coronavirus vaccine meets clearly stated standards that it works and is safe. Vaccine development
Tougher Penalties for People Refusing to Self-isolate
| Health Article
These are the UK coronavirus stories you need to know about today.
Failure to Self-isolate 'Now Illegal'
People in England who test positive for COVID-19 could face a fine of up to £10,000 if they refuse to self-isolate.
From today, it is a punishable offence not to comply following a positive test result or when told to do so by NHS Test and Trace.
It comes as a preprint of a study by King's College London (KCL) found that only 18.2% of people with symptoms adhered to self-isolation.
Fines will start at £1,000, rising to £10,000 for repeat offenders or serious breaches.
People on lower incomes who were unable to work from home and have lost income as a result will also be eligible for a new £500 Test and Trace support payment, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said.
"Everyone must take personal responsibility and self-isolate if


MYXclusive: ZEDD Talks About Possible Collaboration With KATY PERRY - MYX | YOUR CHOICE. YOUR MUSIC.
It wasn't long ago when Katy Perry asked her fans if they'd want to see her collaborate with Zedd through a poll on her Instagram stories. And by the looks of it, it's only a matter of time until we hear a chart-topper from them!
In a MYXclusive interview with the international DJ-record producer, Zedd talked about his recent backstage encounter with Katy and how they talked things through about their possible collaboration. Yep, it's just about finding the right material. But nonetheless, it's coming sooner or later!


I applied early on for a Beta invite of Microsoft Office365. Microsoft's business offering for Office in the Cloud.
About a month ago I finally received my invite and logged in. I was fascinated to see how Microsoft was going to compete with Google Apps and other Productivity Web Apps. It took me approximately 10 minutes to realize what a world-class winner Office365 was.
Those of you with a Windows Live account (the free version) have access to all the Live services including mail via Hotmail, storage in Skydrive and collaborative documentation/ productivity using Office Live. Office365 takes it up several notches for businesses of any scale.
Lync (download required from Office365 dashboard) – Pro MS Communicator.
Sharepoint – Site, Site Template, Tools and Central shared Document Storage.
The Office365 Beta allows you to define 25 users/ licenses and to configure what permission level and applications they have access to use. Default login is https so security is predefined for the free domain domain.onmicrosoft.com or you can opt to use your existing domain. Should you opt for the first option this comes with 25Gb of storage.
All administration is done through the Admin Web Page and it couldn't be easier or more intuitive to use than this.
In addition the Beta is free for 6 months, enough time for your business to decide you can't live without Professional Office in the Cloud.
Office 365 is going to be a game-changer on several levels but I'm watching to see how this is going to affect IT staffing. Installing new versions, service packs, patches or simply adding additional applications for a user is going to be scripted allowing a much leaner IT support staff.
Noticeably absent from the Beta is Microsoft Access. Does this mean no Access anymore or is this going to remain a pure Client application? If not then are users going to have to upscale to Microsoft SQL Azure?
A final word, right now I don't have pricing for this but money issues aside if I had to choose between Office 365 and Google Apps for my organization; having used prior versions of Office and Google Apps I would definitely be sticking with Office for many reasons.
